Hi Di 965
All about risk.. and A lot to consider.
What risk of recurrence will you have if you
Have chemo and what risk if not.
To be offered chemo means you meet the national guidelines for this therapy..that is
The grade of your tumour and the staging
Of the disease.
Another consideration,Do you have a family history of breast CA.
The surgeons And the oncs make their judgement on your histology report.
But, given all the information they give you
You need to be satisfied that it's what you want.. it's all about informed consent.
I have family history. My first ductal tumour
Was grade 1 with Lymph node mets which made me stage 2. Because of family history I chose a mastectomy and was offeredchemo AAnd adjuvant therapy which I accepted. Didn't stop my lovely cells
Developing a second primary tumour
Worse THan the first..But, I feel satisfied with my decision and have no regrets knowing there was nothing better I could
Have done.. hugs to you and every best wish in your deliberations.
